Mack & Mabel - possibly Jerry Hermans best score
Jimmy - Out of print LP starring Frank Gorshin as Prohibition Mayor Jimmy Walker . Team never wrote for Broadway again after the critical drubbing the show got

Oh - I LOVED Jimmy! I think it was just the 2nd Broadway show I'd ever seen.

I'm not sure if No Strings lost money or not - but I think it did. I absolutely love it.

Agree with RAGTIME, and MACK & MABEL.

Also remembering enjoying MAIL and CAPEMAN scores, although I don't believe either have been recorded.

Side Show!

I'm right in thinking that it wasn't very popular?

Yea, Last 5 yeaars is AMAZING. jason robert brown really is a genius, even though all his shows flop. He went 2 my camp (i go 2 theater camp) and he came 2 talk 2 us. He sang the Schmuel Song. He has a new show coming out called Thirteen, about 13 3 yr olds. the pillot cd is being rcorded by kids at my camp. we all auditioned for it, and i got 2 call backs, but i didnt get it. but i have 2 say, the ones they chose r VERY talented.

Also, ASSASINS is AMAZING- i went 2 the opening and it is ABSLUTELEY AMAZING. another sondheim revival coming is PACIFIC OVERTURES, which is also amazing, but again probly wont make much money. basically, any sondheim is amazing. He iis my IDLE!!!!

I'll go with Assassins (both versions)...and of course, Chess - all versions. It is very disappointing that Chess did not do well in the US.
